Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone here can help. My family piano is a Raymond & Co. London piano which was bought reconditioned for my father in the 50s. The serial number is : 74385. I would love to know more about it. It has been sadly neglected, is very out of tune and has been kept in less than ideal conditions.
Thank you so much in advance.

It is not possible to tell anything about an individual piano just by the name, and sadly, this is a name transfer that could be bought for 10p in the seventies, and put onto any piano that had lost its original name, as explained athttp://www.pianohistory.info/names.html

I can often make a quite accurate estimate of the piano’s age if you can send photos that show what the WHOLE piano looks like.
